Foundation Training is a movement practice designed to restore the body's natural order and put YOU at the center of YOUR health. It teaches your body how to properly support itself and move as nature intended. It was developed by chiropractor and movement expert, Dr. Eric Goodman, to heal his own chronic back pain and avoid surgery for multiple disc herniations. This program is not a temporary remedy but a systematic solution that creates long-term health. Foundation Training enables one to reach, achieve, and experience incredible health and wellness. Thousands of people of all ages who were stuck on the couch or headed for surgery for everything from sore knees and bad backs to tight shoulders and failing hips have discovered remarkable healing through Foundation Training. This provides a natural and effective alternative to heavy-handed medical intervention. Visit www.foundationtraining.com to read their testimonials. Mora McGovern trained in New York and is one of a large, and growing, team of Foundation Training Instructors worldwide and the first, and only, certified instructor in Scotland. Her Practice is based near Westhill, Aberdeen where she is now successfully teaching many people how to strengthen their bodies correctly to eliminate pain and avoid injury.

In my upcoming workshop ‘Your Body’s Foundations’ on 18th January, I’ll walk you through the anatomy of the Deep Front Line - and, more importantly, teach you how to access it. Through a combination of innovative exercises and breathwork you’ll begin restoring your:

🌿Movement: Less pain, tightness, and restriction
🌿Physiological Systems: Easier breathing, digestion, and circulation
🌿Strength & Stability: Support that feels integrated, not braced
🌿Nervous System: More grounding, ease, and internal connection

You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of how your body is designed to support itself - and practical tools you can use straight away.

If you’d like to join us, the Early Bird price is £49 (full price £55) until 18th December.

If you’re wanting to begin the year feeling ready to care for, understand, and connect with your body, this two-hour immersion will give you the foundations to build from. I’ll bring together years of biomechanics, anatomy, and natural human movement, along with somatic tools to help people reconnect to their bodies in a more intuitive way.

Early Bird is open until December 18th - £49.
Spaces are limited so book early if you’d like to come.

So many people I work with experience pain on the side they use the most.

Most of the time, it’s the body showing us where we’ve been favouring one side for too long. It’s not a “faulty” side, it’s simply the one carrying more of the load.

Part of my work is helping people reconnect with the side they don’t use as much, the one that’s been a bit quieter.
When both sides begin to share the work again, the body moves with more ease and far less strain.

If this resonates, notice which side you rely on most in daily life. It’s a really helpful place to start paying attention.

Our week at Cabilla brought together everything I love about this work - movement, learning, rest and connection. We explored Foundation Training, somatic movement, the muscle chains, elasticity work, and it was beautiful to see people release tension and move with more ease as the days went on.

A huge thank you to Anu for her beautiful sound baths and treatments, to Mike for guiding the cyanotype workshop and supporting the group throughout, and to everyone who came with such openness. Between the wood-fired saunas, nourishing meals, time in the forest and the hands-on creativity, it was a truly special week. I’m so grateful to have shared it with you all. 🌿

Keep your eyes peeled for my next retreat details coming soon 🌄

This workshop will help you reconnect with the deep structural musculature that most of us lose touch with over time. I’ll walk you through the myofascial architecture of these tissues and how they function as an interconnected system to support space in your body - space that allows your joints and muscles, breath, digestion, circulation, and lymphatic flow (the list goes on!) to move and work with more ease, efficiency, and freedom.

Whether you’re dealing with stiffness and pain, or simply want to feel strong from the inside out so you can enjoy the activities you love, this workshop is guaranteed to leave you with a new and deeper understanding of your body so that you can move forward with confidence.

For years I lived with pain, tension and a feeling that my body wasn’t fully supported. Learning how to decompress my spine and unwind unhealthy movement patterns changed everything...

I got my body back! Meaning I can lead the active lifestyleI love with freedom.

Marking ten years has reminded me just how much this work can do - when we give the body the right conditions, it thrives. It’s been a privilege to share this approach with so many, and I’m excited for what the next chapter brings.

Staying consistent with your practice doesn’t need to be complicated.

My live online classes offer a simple way to keep your body moving well - especially through the winter months. 🌿

We blend Foundation Training, breathwork, and somatic release to create space through your spine, wake up deep postural support, and ease the tension daily life builds.

Practicing live brings accountability, community, and feedback so you can keep refining your technique.

If you’re wanting a gentle, supportive way to stay consistent, this is a lovely place to start.

What began as a way to understand my own body has grown into a decade of teaching, learning, and sharing this work with so many of you. I’m deeply grateful for everyone who’s been part of this journey - from those who joined a single class to those who’ve practiced with me for years.

To celebrate, I’ve put together a few small thank-you gifts - ways to support your practice and keep you moving well into the year ahead.

Rest matters - but sometimes tiredness runs deeper than that.

When the body’s holding on, it takes extra energy just to move, breathe, or stand.

Releasing what’s unnecessary helps the body feel lighter, more energised, and ready to move. 🍃

If your body feels heavy or tight, it’s often a sign of compression.

Sitting for long periods, past injuries or stress can all create compression and make movement feel harder.

My work is about helping people create the space for it to move freely again. 🍃

Stories like George’s remind me what’s possible when we learn to move with the body, not against it.

After ACL and meniscal surgery, running felt out of reach for years. Through consistent Foundation Training, George rebuilt strength and balance in a way that allowed his body to absorb impact safely again.

When the right muscles take the load, the joints don’t have to, and movement becomes light, supported, and pain-free.🌼
